My Story

Hi everyone,

As some of you know I've been a vocal supporter of our aging population, specifically those struggling with Alzheimer's and Dementia.

When my mother was 57, and I was only 21, she was first diagnosed with Dementia. In 2017 we received the Early Onset Alzheimer's diagnosis, and it's changed our lives in so many ways. With the relentless support of our friends and family, we've all been living our lives to the fullest.

Today, over 35 million people across the world are living with Alzheimer's, including more than 5 million Americans. In the U.S. alone, more than 15 million caregivers generously dedicate themselves to those with Alzheimer's and dementia. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise.

I'm running the United Airlines NYC Half Marathon on behalf of the most luminous, loveliest, and bravest person I know: my mother. Please donate and help me reach my goal so we can work to find a cure, and continue to support those living with Alzheimer's and their incredible caregivers.

Fighting this is a team effort, but together, we can show those facing Alzheimer's disease that they are not alone. See you at the finish line!

Our Mission:

To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
